I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 14 Now, You Are the Prey
"you……"

Xu Can's body was trembling.

The blazing orange flames suddenly turned into a strange dark blue.

The cold gradually swallows up the heat.

But this time, Lin Xing'an was no longer afraid.

"You can't tell."

Xu Can murmured.

She felt like there were countless ants crawling on her body, scratching constantly.

The skin on her body kept bulging, as if worms were intertwining and wriggling under her skin.

Although her face was clearly unrecognizable, her voice still came from her abdomen.

Next to the walls with the word "death" written all over them in red paint, her voice was shrill and crazy!
This caused the flames to burn even more wildly.

"You can't possibly tell! How dare you?"

"How could you possibly know? How dare you know?!"

"You're pretending! Yes, it must be. You've actually been doubting yourself the whole time, haven't you? You're not even sure if I'm a monster!"

"You must still think I'm a human. I'm Xu Can. You're scared, right? Scared that I'm really a human! You..."

Xu Can's voice suddenly stopped.

Because she saw Lin Xing'an's eyes beyond the flames.

that……

What is that look?
Laughing? Speechless? Disdain? ...Pity?

mercy? !
He's pitying me?!

How dare he? !

A mere beast, you dare to show me mercy?!

"Beast! Beast, beast, beast, beast! How dare you look at me like that?!"

"I am your God! I can eat you anytime, anywhere if I want!"

"I control your life! I can play with you as I please! The purpose of your life is to be eaten by me!"

"Ahhh! You are a lowly human animal! You are food, you are fodder! Ahhhhhhh!"

The more Xu Can spoke, the more pity and mockery appeared in Lin Xing'an's eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a half-smile.

It felt like I could burst out laughing at any moment.

"Can't you feel my emotions? Don't you know clearly whether I've been deceived by you or not?"

"Okay, okay, but you're almost dead. There's nothing I can do. The dead are the greatest. So I'll just consider myself deceived, okay?"

"Oh, wow, you're so amazing, oh my god, you're actually a monster, how could you hide so well?"

"Ahhh, I've been cheated. It's so painful. I feel so desperate. Ahhhh."

Lin Xing'an said very perfunctorily.

But his expression gradually became serious.

Because he had shrunk into a corner, with the empty outer wall behind him.

The fire grew higher and higher with the help of the wind, and thick black smoke billowed up, leaving almost no place to stand in the entire room.

The fierce flames could touch his hair at any time.

“…You…are looking for death…human beast! You are looking for death, you are looking for death, you are looking for death!!!”

Xu Can, whose defenses were already broken, could no longer hold on!
Her neck instantly bent ninety degrees.

His body swelled up as if it was about to explode!

The neck, the mouth, the eyes, the ears...

One after another, pale and slender hands, as if squeezing toothpaste with great force, emerged from under her burnt and riddled skin.

The densely packed fingers intertwined together made a teeth-grinding clicking sound.

The skin bag that Lin Xing'an was familiar with was like a tattered cloth bag, lying on the ground in pieces.

The empty eyes were looking at Lin Xing'an.

But in the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes under the flames and scattered with the wind.

The monster's ugly body covered with hands began to twist strangely.

Even though it was covered in oil and fire, and some parts of it were carbonized, it seemed to feel no pain.

Curl up both hands and raise them to the top, making the shape of a telescope.

The fingers of one hand were twisted like plasticine and pinched into a nose.

There were also two hands with fingers intertwined, forming a mouth that looked like it was sewn with needle and thread.

In the suffocating firelight, it suddenly turned over with its back to Lin Xing'an.

The nostrils of the "nose" expanded and it took a deep breath.

The eyes shaped like telescopes were also aimed at Lin Xing'an.

His fingers opened and closed, making a shrill laugh.

"Hehehehe! Human-beast... I see you!"

All of its arms suddenly opened wide, and it pounced towards Lin Xing'an like a huge mouth of the abyss covered in flames! "So fast..."

Lin Xing'an's pupils shrank.

The monster appeared in front of him in just one step!
The blazing flames rushed straight towards his face!
But at this critical moment, the rope on the roof snapped apart.

A gust of wind swept through, and the corpse blocked the incoming fireworks and crashed straight into the monster's open arms!
A moment of respite made Lin Xing'an unable to hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth, turned around and jumped from the seventh floor!

"Oh!"

There was a heavy crash.

The moment he landed on the fifth-floor platform, Lin Xing'an instinctively rolled three times to relieve the force.

But the strong sense of frustration still made his feet numb, and his legs kept shaking uncontrollably.

But at this time the monster was already extremely angry.

Ignoring the raging flames on his body, he smashed the hanged corpse to pieces and jumped down.

"Then let's see who dies first!"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Lin Xing'an's eyes.

After hesitating for half a second, he didn't go down, but ran towards the roof!

The monster was also shaped like a gecko, chasing after him at a 90-degree angle between the ground and the wall.

Every time it moved, its arms would fall off, and after struggling on the ground for a few times, it would become withered.

I don't know if this is because it lost its skin or was simply burned.

But its size is now much smaller!

"How about I play a game with you? If you catch me, I'll grant you a wish!"

"How about I just pretend you tricked me?"

Lin Xing'an continued to provoke the monster while panting heavily.

Sure enough, his words made the monster completely ignore the arm that fell off the ground and became even more excited and crazy!

But the more it did this, the more the flames on its body grew stronger.

The arms fall off more frequently!

"Dong dong dong..."

The monster behind was like a torch, illuminating Lin Xing'an's way forward.

He took two steps at a time, and two of three steps at a time, barely keeping a distance of more than one meter from the monster.

One floor, two floors, three floors...

Lin Xing'an was already feeling dizzy, and he could no longer feel his legs, so he just kept taking steps mechanically.

But he didn't dare to stop for a moment.

Just one breath left!
Just keep on holding on...

Hold on, hold on!
It’s not enough. Wait for it to drop a few more hands, and then wait a little longer…

He kept encouraging himself in his heart.

The monster behind had unknowingly found that the flames on its body had disappeared as its arms fell off.

But its size is only the size of an adult.

Most of the remaining arm was as black as coal.

about there……

Seeing the monster's shadow getting smaller and smaller, Lin Xing'an's eyes flashed.

The strength of each of this monster's hands may not even be as strong as that of a normal adult.

But hundreds of hands combined together create immense power.

And now...

How many of its hands are left to exert force?
After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xing'an stopped climbing the stairs.

His body suddenly stopped and he turned towards the dark and empty corridor on the left.

The monster behind him also jumped up from the wall, grabbed Lin Xing'an's calf and brought him to the ground.

The other hands also continued to crawl towards Lin Xing'an's body.

Cold, slippery...

The moment Lin Xing'an touched the monster's skin, he felt a chill rushing straight to the top of his head.

A physiological nausea and rejection rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe... I caught you, beast~"

The monster pulled out its two hands and formed its mouth again.

As the door opened and closed, Xu Can's voice was heard.

"No! I caught you!"

Lin Xing'an turned around suddenly, holding the rusty iron bar that he had picked up at some point.

"Oh!"

He lifted the iron bars with both hands and smashed them hard on the monster's body composed of crisscrossing arms like a battle axe!

"Now, you are the prey."
